The return to Fight Island was a successful and exciting one for UFC 253 and the promotion will remain at the Flash Forum this week as women’s bantamweights Holly Holm and Irene Aldana headline the event. We have a full preview and the betting odds for UFC Fight Night: Holm vs Aldana, which is taking place on Yas Island on Saturday, October 3.
Holm, the former champion, looks to collect a second straight win for the first time since she began her career with 10 wins in a row, a streak that was snapped in 2016. A win here may fast-track her to getting yet another title shot vs Amanda Nunes.
Meanwhile, after a stunning first-round knockout of Ketlen Vieira last December, Aldana hopes she can springboard to a title fight by knocking off a former champion. Aldana enters this fight as a Sportsbook in five of her last six, including her past two.
